Feng Shui Key to Success - Going With the Natural Flow

We're all familiar with the typical feng shui buzz nowadays: wealth corner here, relationship corner there, water fountain, crystals, north, south, east, etc. But there is a much more natural level of Feng Shui energy flow that meanders through our environments, and the more in tune with it we get, the more easily things will open up and successfully flow in all areas of our lives. Our homes are truly a mirror reflection of what is going on in our lives and the way you interact with your space is also an indication of how the rest of the world is interacting with you. Literally translated Feng Shui means "wind" and "water" and a good place to start assessing the energy is imagining these two aspects of Mother Earth flowing through your home — so ask yourself how do they flow? Let's take a look at how you and your things are affecting that flow of energy. Literally, how do you flow, or rather walk through and utilize your space on a daily basis? Finding balance in the personal flow of actions through your home is just as essential a part of creating good Feng Shui energy as what to put in what corner where. I'm talking about the really simple things that together add up and create blocks of energy flow, and in turn, blocks in the movement of your life. For example, when you wake-up in the morning and reach for your bathrobe, where is it - a natural, easy place close by? You go downstairs to make your morning coffee, where are the mugs and coffee beans - right next to the coffee maker or the other side of the kitchen? From another angle, where do you naturally throw down the mail when you walk through your door each day? Surely we all have that place we intend it to go, but don't we all have that "natural" place that things just somehow wind up and flow to? In a case like that, it's good to honor that area and get a nice basket or container if that's where it naturally ends up. Sure, overall it's nice to have things all neat and put away, but you have to find balance between what looks good and what is creating natural and unnatural flow in your everyday life. I know we all desire to live in a pristine, everything-put-away, model home atmosphere these days. However, no one really actually has a life in a space like that, it's an energy of emptiness in some ways at that point. So take some time to assess and become conscious of how much extra unnecessary flow exists in your everyday routines. Notice all the little ways you are constantly swimming upstream against the current of your life. When you can find the balance and go with the natural flow of the physical structure, it is then that you can achieve an important aspect of Feng Shui and open up to easier flow of successes in your life.

Determining your Feng Shui main door

The question of defining the right Feng Shui front door comes up very often, as in many cases the front door of the house is rarely used. A back door, a side door or a garage door would be used much more frequently, which makes it important to have these doors infused with good, clean energy for you and your family's well-being. However, this does not make any of these doors a front door; just a more active door closely connected to your health. For all Feng Shui purposes, such as defining the bagua of your home, checking the flow of chi, balancing the energy of the male and female sides of the house and more, the main door, or the front door, is the door that was initially designed for the house as the main door. As with everything, there are many variables to this statement. Generally, unless the house went through a big remodeling project and the main door was repositioned by the architect taking into consideration the house as a whole, the front door is as mentioned above. In many cases a back door, a side door or a garage door would be used much more frequently, which makes it important to have these doors infused with good, clean energy for you and your family's well-being. This does not make any of these doors a front door, though; just a more active door closely connected to your health. What does it mean to have your secondary active doors infused with good energy? Basically, it means having a welcoming secondary entry that you treat well. An entry that looks good, is clean, well-organized and visually pleasing to the eye/well decorated. As you use that door everyday, on a Feng Shui energy level the way you come into the house and the way you leave the house are very important.

It may not be that potent afterall. 4.The concern is at the Southeast, as the month star of 3 interact with Year Star of 7. 5.These 3 sectors need to be quiet with no moving activties. Renovation should not take place and also if there is opened ceremony for good occassions, these are the sectors that should not be activated. The Heavenly Stem of Bing Fire Yang Fire This is the start of Mid Winter and many parts of the world will be celebrating Christmas and New Year. During this time of cool weather, some sunlight is joy! Sun, syboylise Bing Yang Fire, Fire is associated with Joy. This is year end, and the sun is needed for Joy.

Many nature needs rain water and sunlight to nuture; trees and soil. Namely, Jia Yang Wood, Yi Yin Wood, Wu Yang Earth and Ji Yin Earth. Provided that the natal chart is not too wet and too dry. 2. Rat belongs to the catergory of Flower of Romance. Those zodiac sign is Rabbit, Goat and Pig. News about romance will surfaced. Rat, also symbolise Yang Water, this year of Chou Yin Earth Ox will combined with Rat to form Earth. 3. Those born in the month of Pig Yin Water, will have a very cold and wet month as Rat, Pig and Ox is a strong water frame. Day Master is Ji Yin Earth with wet chart is to avoid going to the sea or take part in activities like water sports. Avoid travelling to North, the hour of 11pm to 3pm and drink too much cold water. I dare to say that Rat can create havoc for those whose chart have Rooster, Rabbit, Pig and Ox. I wish all readers have a romantic and joyful Rat’s Month.

What is A Strong Feng Shui Front Door?

Posted on 01 December 2009

The front door, or the main door, is very important in Feng Shui, no matter we are speaking of the front door of a home or the front door of a business. In Feng Shui, the house gets its Chi, or energy nourishment through the front door, so the stronger, healthier and more balanced the front door is, the stronger and better the quality of energy available for those who live in the house.
